A MATTER OF POLICY, NOT PRINCI-
PLE.-SO far as our observation goes,
the course which Mr.. Cleveland has
adopted in this matter has reference not
so much to the comparative strength of
the reform sentiment as to the compare
tive strength of the parties In this
State, for instance, the sentiment for
civil service reform is strong; yet in
no State has there been a cleaner sweep
of the offices or more shameless defiance
of every principle of civil service re-
form. In the matter of removals and
appointments Mr.. Cleveland does not
care what is done in Vermont, because
Vermont is Republican anyhow. He
does not care what happens in Maryland,
because Maryland is Democratic any
how. In States, however, where the
votes of the friends of civil service re-
form may make a difference with the
result of the election, Mr.. Cleveland
has been little more careful about the
extent to which he wig the pledges
upon which he wa I'd. lie has
shown regard to his 3rsonal and
his party interests, true regard
for civil service ref or its friends.

mourn more and more as time rolls on.
She has passed beyond the vail from our

can never be forgotten by those who
mourn her loss. Tonight we have been
called together to pay our tribute of re-
spect to her companion, Richard F. Par

Brother, who has been stricken down in
his manhood and usefulness. He heard
his Master calling; calmly and quietly
he laid down his work and fearlessly en-

How IT Looks TO A WEsTERNER-

How IT LOOKS TO A WEsTERNER.-
A Western man, a farmer, coming from
a region where a considerable amount
of Caledonia county funds are invested,
made his first visit to Vermont recently
to see the country and visit friends.
Being a farmer himself, he naturally
spent much of his time among the far
mers in this vicinity. He saw this locali-
ty at its best, to be sure, and when asked
his opinion of the farms and farmers of
Vermont he spoke something after this
fashion: 1.-The feeling that impresses
me most is the feeling of unrest among
the farmers. l rarely meet one who is
not waiting for chance to sell out.
They plant their crops and lay their
plans not for the future but for the
present, as next year or next month they
propose to move" This man expressed
the opinion that no farmer or business
man could succeed who did business in
this way Were they to work the farms
of the West with the same feeling, build
houses with the idea that they were to
live in them but few days, work with
their hands while their heads and their
hearts were over in the next state or
territory, they would be very likely to
reap there, as they often do here, disap-
pOintment. CaledOntan. 'sFstf

THE TEMPERANCE TEXTS Books
Even thus early a few towns have re-
ported success in the teaching of scien-
tific temperance in the schools. Among
them are Woodstock. BrattleborO,
Hinesburg, StarksborO and Ryegate.
In some Instances it is reported as a
. decided success" Both teachers and
pupils have taken to it readily The
children have become interested and
show that they understand it. Indeed,
it is quite likely the children are going
to understand it better than they have
been credited, since in some places they
too frequently see it illustrated.-BeL-

mains for those who work earnestly for
the welfare of their fellow beings. 1t is
for us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work they have
thus far so nObly carried on. We are all
ant TO forget that it is not the picture
which a man paints, or the music which
he writes. or his success or happiness, or
accomplished work in life which is OF i'm
Dortauce ir Gods eyes. but the soul of
the man. It is trained for its work in the
life hereafter, not by Indulgence. but by
endeavors. by self-denial and by hard
ship. With this, our memorial eve, may
there come to every one of us fresh
baptism of the spirit of true work: work
that is watchful of the Chapters honor
and ready to defend it. And above all
may there come the spirit of sisterhood
that shall cement in action every interest
that affects the welfare of the Chapter.
This alone can unite our hearts and hands
in love, overcome all bitterness and strife,
carry us onward and upward intellectual
lv and morally. Let it be the beginning
of better times among us; let there be
that perfect unity of Christian feeling
among ourselves that we may more eff
fectually cultivate social feelings of
kindness and make it a beautiful society;
place where love and pure strength
shall always dwell.
"WhO hOnOrs virtue plants the seed
Within his own awakened breast,
To ripen into glorious deeds,
And make himself and others blest.
If brave-your soul shall steadfast grow,
If tair-in fairer light twill bloom,
If fond-It sweet with hope will glow,
If true-immortals give it room"
WHEREAs,--Again the pearly gates have
opened and our Brother. Richard f. Parker, has
passed within their portals to return to us no
more. Therefore,
ResOEred,-That in his death Crystal Chapter
has lost one of its most valued members;
who was ever ready to speak to us words of good
cheer or counsel as might be required.
ReSolUed.-That his devotion to the honor and
welfare of the Chapter, and his earnest labOrs
for its successful progress. enabled him to merit
and receive its highest hOnOrs.
ResoEved,-That while we "cherish his memo
ry" here, profit by the example he has left us,
in such manner to make the parting tempo
rary and the meeting eternal.
ResoyUed,-That mourning page be inscribed
to his memory on the records of this Chapter,
and a copy of these resolutions sent to the NEWS

70 Make Mount Vernon Free.
The following circular is worthy of
consideration and a generous response
on the part of the public =


To the People of Vermont:
Having been appointed recently by the Mount
Vernon Ladies' Association vice regent for this
state, 1 am naturally anxious that its people
should contribute tOwarS the fund we are trying
to collect for the purpose of endowment. Fauit
is often found because the public IS required 10
pay for the privilege of visiting Mount vernon
and viewing the historic ground so dear to every
American-but it is forgotten apparently that
ment fund large enough to make the interest pay
for keeping the place in proper repair
As is well known, the property was bought
from Gen. WashingtOn'S heirs by the women OF
the United States, because the said heirs were
unable to hold it longer. The expenses OF keep
ing up the estate now are very great $50 great
indeed, that after everything is paid up we have
a very small surplus which goes TO the endOW-
ment fund.- as the employment of many servants
is necessary not only for the farm work, but for
the house itself as visitors arrive daily, and must
be shown over the house, and also closely
watched, in many instances, to prevent the
theft of door knobs and clock weights, or the
defacing of the halls and woodwork.
These are some reasons why Mount vernon IS
not "Open free" to the public, and as Vermont
has never been represented in the association
before am very anxious that the people of the
state should subscribe largely. Any one wishing
to do so will please send check or 2. o. order to
the following address:
